Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 272 The new daughter-in-law in study

Gu Siwei took a piece of stir-fried diced bacon with cucumber, because he felt that this dish was easy to make for novices, and it was too salty.

Putting a chopstick in his mouth, Gu Siwei was ready for the salty dish, but to his surprise, the dish was not very salty, not only not very salty, but also tasted above the passing line.

"Not bad!"

Gu Siwei nodded: "The taste is okay. It would be great if the taste of the bacon was a little bit like this. The heat of the bacon frying is a little bit insufficient."

"Really?"

Even if Gu Siwei made some small suggestions, Hu Yanqiu was still very happy. He picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth quickly.

After eating, he said: "It's still not as delicious as your cooking."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei was immediately happy: "If you do better than me for the first time, then I can find a hemp rope and hang myself."

Speaking of Gu Siwei, he tried other dishes, some of which were slightly salty, but for a normal housewife, such a level of dishes is considered qualified.

Old man Li and old man Yu had already sat down at this time. They saw that Gu Siwei said it was good, so they also started eating.

"Little Hu, is this really your first time cooking?"

Old man Li said.

Hu Yanqiu said: "When I was at home, I always dealt with it. I didn't do it seriously. Today is really the first time that I can cook so many dishes at once."

In the past, when Hu Yanqiu was at home, his parents and siblings would order noodles at work, or cook porridge or something, and there was no such condition for making something complicated. Later, life got a little better, and it was nothing more than adding an egg to the noodles.

Today is really the first time Hu Yanqiu has organized such a big scene.

Old man Li smiled and praised: "Then you are quite talented. To be honest, I can't do this level now."

Hu Yanqiu said happily: "If you like it, eat more."

"That's for sure. I was still worried in my heart. Who knew that your level is not lower than Xiaogu's?" Old man Yu also praised him.

When Hu Yanqiu heard that everyone liked it, he said, "Then let me do it tomorrow!"

Hu Yanqiu was still a little cautious, she wondered if the big guys were just praising herself for the sake of face, but in fact she didn't do very well, so she tried to test it out.

Old man Li said: "I have no problem."

When I said that, the chopsticks were still stretching into the plate.

When old man Yu saw Hu Yanqiu looking at him, he also said, "I don't have a problem. You and Xiaogu are fine with me, just don't let me do it. I don't even want to eat the food I cook."

Now Hu Yanqiu felt that he really did a good job.

So the happy Hu Yanqiu persuaded him to cook.

Seeing this, Gu Siwei smiled and said, "You can eat it yourself, the big guys are not polite people."

Hu Yanqiu sat down to eat, and after a while he suddenly said, "Why don't I steam the buns tomorrow?"

Gu Siwei knew that this was because his daughter-in-law wanted to develop in an all-round way, so what if she didn't support her?If you are against it, life at home is not enough?
"Support, I will eat steamed buns tomorrow." Gu Siwei nodded unscrupulously.

Sicui said: "Sister-in-law, do you still give out steamed buns?"

As a result, Hu Yanqiu's following words left everyone at a loss as to what to say.

"No, but after the meal, I'm going to ask my sister-in-law of the Wu family. Don't you always say that the steamed buns and pancakes made by the sister-in-law of the Wu family are delicious? I'll just learn from her," Hu Yanqiu said.

"so late?"

Gu Siwei looked at the top of his head, it was going to be dark soon, and the stars above his head could be seen, so will he bother Wu Meiling later?

Sicui said happily: "Okay, sister-in-law, I will go too."

When Gu Siwei heard this, he thought to himself: Yes, let's go!
Meals are eaten very quickly. Not many people eat slowly in this era, especially the two old men, Li and Yu. After eating a big pot of rice for a period of time, if you want to eat, you have to grab it. If you eat slowly, there will be nothing to eat. Who eats slowly?Even if you eat slowly, if you do this a few times, you will be fast.

After eating, Li and Yu took the initiative to clean up the table, and Sicui and Hu Yanqiu also helped. In short, everyone did the work together. After tidying up, they arranged their own time. The two old men began to cool off, and Gu Siwei took his wife and sister to Wu Meiling's house.

In the valley where Liu and Guo's family lived, it was impossible for Gu Siwei to stay with a group of women, so he went directly to Liu Fulin's house.

Under the oil lamp, Zheng Youcai was teaching Liu Dezhu to weave bamboo. As a teacher, Zheng Youcai was quite strict, and Liu Dezhu also studied it seriously.

Sometimes stupid people are very focused on doing things. They are slower at the beginning, but once they get used to it, they learn quickly. Just like Liu Dezhu now, the things he made up already look good.

It's nonsense to catch up with Zheng Youcai. It's a myth that the old man's decades of kung fu can be surpassed by his apprentice in a year. After all, the kung fu in the hands must be honed with time, and now Liu Dezhu can't do it.

But Liu Dezhu's basic skills are pretty decent.

"How is it?" Gu Siwei looked at Liu Dezhu's basket and asked Zheng Youcai.

Zheng Youcai understood that Gu Siwei was referring to his apprentice, so he said, "It's just so-so. It's not considered talented, but fortunately, it's considered diligent."

Zheng Youcai was actually satisfied in his heart, but as a master, he was afraid of boasting in front of his face, and his apprentice would feel inflated. Once this kind of thing happened, it would be troublesome, so he taught his apprentice that you have to beat and pull, and if you beat him, you will not let him down.

Of course, if you really don't fall into the master's eyes, the master will not play tricks with you and just drive you away.

Gu Siwei also knew that Zheng Youcai was talking ironically, so he smiled and stopped mentioning Liu Dezhu's matter.

Now Liu Dezhu is very focused on making things, and his attention is on the work in his hands from the beginning to the end, and he never looks up at Gu Siwei and others for a moment.

"Siwei, what about the bed?" Zheng Youcai mentioned the bed again when he saw Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei was left speechless by him: "Uncle Zheng, this matter hasn't been turned over yet? Even if you want to squeeze me, you can't focus on one thing, can you?"

With a bitter face, Gu Siwei replied directly.

Zheng Youcai said, "Isn't there nothing I can do?"

"Okay, don't toss Siwei like this for a watch, what kind of canopy bed is he playing with as a young man, I don't even notice that thing," Liu Fulin said beside him.

Gu Siwei heard a watch, so he asked curiously: "What watch?"

Zheng Youcai told the story.

Gu Siwei said: "If there is only one watch, then I can help."

"A watch is enough, preferably a famous brand, such as Pearl, Plum Blossom, Advance or something," Zheng Youcai said immediately.

Liu Fulin said: "You're still on the pick, it would be great if someone could change with you."

Gu Siwei said: "It's nothing, there is no problem with the watch, but I have to see things."

Zheng Youcai said: "It's easy to handle. I'll inform him tomorrow and ask him to deliver the things to you."

Gu Siwei said quickly: "I haven't read the stuff yet, so what's the point of sending it here?"

It sounds like forced buying and strong selling. Gu Siwei doesn’t care about a watch. It’s really hard to buy watches in China, but there is still a shortage of watches in Hong Kong?
Besides, I have to go to the south soon, and this time is more convenient than last time, because Gu Siwei found the trick, and the car that picks up and delivers pork directly arrives smoothly, which is much more convenient than the first time I went.And this car is easy to recognize. The whole car is full of pigs and non-staple food. It is not easy to admit mistakes.

"It doesn't matter if it's not a famous brand, as long as it's a watch," Zheng Youcai immediately added when he saw it.

Gu Siwei thought for a while and said: "But the time may be later, because the watch ticket is not easy to get, it will take almost a month, if you are in a hurry...".

Without waiting for Gu Siwei to finish speaking, Zheng Youcai said, "No hurry, no hurry!"

Gu Siwei could only nod his head.

Then everyone chatted about marrying a daughter-in-law. I don’t know when it started, talking about a daughter-in-law became a big problem in the nearby villages. Even the girls who were originally in the ravine didn’t want to marry in the ravine anymore. They sharpened their heads and wanted to run outside.

It's not like at the beginning, when people like Guo Shengshou can still marry a former lady like Wu Meiling, but now it's back to the way it was before, and the poor young people in the village are no longer popular.

Liu Fulin has the most say in this matter. For the sake of Liu Dezhu's taking a wife, he moved out all his old books. If there were no bottles and jars left by his ancestors, Liu Dezhu would still want to find a wife.

Gu Siwei didn't interrupt. First, he didn't have much say in this kind of matter, and second, he couldn't understand the state of mind of Liu and Zheng.

Now that old Gu is handsome, he can make a wife with this face. Facts have proved that a handsome man can make a living no matter what era he is in.

It’s just that Gu Siwei was not happy. Anyway, besides other things, he married his wife, and he married a very satisfied daughter-in-law. Although there may be some problems with the child, Gu Siwei, as a person decades later, is thinking about it. This is not a problem at all.

As for food and so on, it is not a problem for Gu Siwei. There is still a lot of food in his space now. If it is not easy to take it out, it is easy to take it out, so that the entire sixth team can live on the food.

It took about an hour or so.

Hu Yanqiu brought Si Cui over and told Gu Siwei to go home.

Then stop talking, the family of three said goodbye and went home.

After arriving at home, Hu Yanqiu began to knead the noodles and put them in the room very solemnly, and covered them with gauze.

This is not over yet, even if she wakes up twice at night to observe how her hair is doing.
